Blogger Secret Ingredient Roundup and Winner for CASHEWS!

As many of you know, this week’s Blogger Secret Ingredient Challenge has been cashews. Did you know that the cashew nut is only part of a bigger cashew fruit? I hope you all learned a little more about cashews this week, even if it was just a new tasty way to cook them!

Before we get to the recipes, let me talk about next weeks host; Jenn! Jenn Cuisine is a must see blog, no joke! If you aren’t impressed, inspired, or awed by her recipes (there’s no way you won’t be!) then you’re at least sure to be in for a feast of the eyes. Jenn’s photography makes her food come alive! So be sure to head over to her site this week to see the rules, the past ingredient list and hosts, and find out next weeks secret ingredient!!!

Cashew Recipe Submissions:

Thanks to all of you who submitted a recipe, everything was impressive and I would love to have taste tested each one! (In my opinion, the only downfall with food blogging is the lack of tasting others recipes :P) Thanks again, you all are amazing!

*I’ve listed all the recipes first. The winner is repeated at the bottom with an additional photo :)

April, from the 21 Century Housewife, sent this lovely Cashew Nut Stir Fry recipe that is packed with yummy veggies and vital nutrients. Substitute the regular pasta for gluten free, use gluten free soy sauce, and then this recipe is gluten free, dairy free, and sugar free!

And the Winner is????!!???

Alisa, you’ll be getting an e-mail from me soon so I can send you your prize! :)

This is a really simple Cashew Stir Fry that I literally whipped up in a matter of minutes. A great option if you’re in a hurry!

Thanks again for playing! I hope to continue to see you all around on the blogosphere! It’s been a fun week getting submissions and chating with many of you. Now head on over to Jenn Cuisine to see what fun we have in front of us this coming week!!!
